Abstract
The emphasis on tool applications of computers in school and business settings continues to grow, but the results of such use are often disappointing. An increasing number of studies are defining the shortcomings of this approach, but the solutions have not been found.
This paper begins with the assumptions underlying the emphasis on tool applications, reviews some of the studies that challenge these assumptions, then presents some suggestions for successful implementation of tool applications, based on more appropriate assumptions.
